Increase of the amount of DNA-feulgen in mammalian tissue by schiff reagents at less acid pH

Zusammenfassung Die Färbbarkeit der DNS mit dem Feulgenreagens nimmt mit steigendem pH des Reagens zu. Es wird nachgewiesen, dass die verstärkte Reaktion alle 3 Bestandteile des gebräuchlichen Fuchsins betrifft.

Mécanisme d'action du chloramphénicol dans l'inhibition de la production d'anticorps induite par de différents types d'antigènes

Summary Chloramphenicol (CAF) administered to rabbits during the whole period of immunization, is able to suppress almost completely the antibody response against horse serum albumin and globulins (HSA, HSG) andEscherichia coli: on the other hand, it does not inhibit antibody response to heterologous RBC. The possible mechanism of the inhibiting action of the CAF in antibody response to HSA, HSG andE. coli is discussed, and some hypotheses are put forward on the possible reasons for the different behaviour of CAF on the immune response induced by heterologous RBC.
